Go to a specific page

Click
to see a list of the note pages that you or other members of the workspace have added to the Notepad tool. The Page list provides status information about notes, such as their size, modified date, and last editor.

To go to a specific note page, click the Previous or Next buttons to move sequentially among note pages, or click a note in the Page list.

Edit a note page

Note: If another workspace member is already editing the selected note page, SharePoint Workspace prompts you to decide whether you want to edit the note anyway, or wait until the other member is done editing. See About editing conflicts below for more information.

About editing conflicts

The Edit button in the Notepad displays the number of users editing if other members are currently editing the selected note page. You can point at the Edit button to display a text window that tells you who's currently editing the note page.

If you click the Edit button while another member is already editing the page, SharePoint Workspace prompts you to decide whether you want to edit the note anyway, or wait until the other member is done editing. If you decide to continue and edit the page, SharePoint Workspace saves your changes in a new "conflict" copy of the note page. A conflict page also includes a link back to the original Notepad page. The picture below shows the title area of a conflict page:

Likewise, if you are editing a page and another member begins to edit the same page, SharePoint Workspace briefly displays a message to inform you that another member has started to edit the page. For example:

If this happens, your changes are saved back to the original document and the other member's changes are saved in a new conflict copy.

Search for text in a note page

You can search for text in a selected note page. You can search while a note is open for reading or editing. However, if a note is open for editing, you must click in the text editing area before you start a search.
